About Zander W.

I have a deep background in Rock, country, jazz, blues, R&B and other styles.

About Zander

I am a Nashville session musician, sideman and music teacher. I received a Bachelor of Music degree in Commercial Music with a Composition and Arranging Emphasis from Belmont University and I am currently pursuing a Masters in Music at MTSU. Coming from a family of Classical and Jazz musicians, I have been exposed to music my whole life. Over the years I have had the opportunity to play and record with many great bands and artists ranging from Country/Bluegrass to Rock to Jazz. I teach all genres of guitar, bass, banjo ukulele and mandolin.

*** Lesson Details ***I believe the ability to play an instrument is only part of musicianship. I also strive to teach my students the theory behind the music they learn. I work hard to make sure that my students are doing everything in the easiest way possible. I want to ensure that they are

able to progress quickly enough so that they can see the difference. The most rewarding moment as a teacher is when a student points out how hard something once was and how easy it has become.

*** Studio Equipment ***Music store environment. No pets.

*** Travel Equipment ***I travel with all teaching equipment needed but a music stand is recommended for the lessons and for practicing.

*** Specialties ***I am a very versatile teacher and player but I am often recommended based on my knowledge of Gypsy Jazz, Swing, bluegrass, country and rock teaching acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, mandolin and ukulele

Wonderful instructor! I'm finally getting rid of my old bad habits. I very much look forward to every new lesson. Highly recommended.

Cate June 22, 2016·Classical Guitar·In studio

Zander is extremely knowledgable and has the ability to communicate that knowledge in an easy tower and way. Great teacher!

David Otto June 20, 2016·Ukulele·In studio

I am a first time stringed instrument student. Zander has a talent for structuring lessons to make me 'work' to see progress. He is patient and answers my questions in a manner that make sense. I'm fortunate to have connected with him. Given his multi instrument proficiency and obvious knowledge base I can't help but recommend his teaching skills.

About Matthew C.

I've been playing guitar for the last 15 years and giving lessons for almost as long! I have a degree in music from the University of Miami and am currently touring out of Nashville. I'd like to think I have a fairly wide range of musical tastes (jazz, country, blues, acoustic, gypsy jazz, rockabilly, rock, etc.) and I enjoy the different challenges that each of my students bring to the table. So whether you're just wanting to strum a few old favorites at home, or if you're on your way to being a Nashville pro like me, I'd be happy to help you along your musical journey!

About Matthew

I picked up the guitar (at my father's encouragement) back in 2003 and never quite turned back! Originally from Kansas City, MO, I first got regular exposure playing in my high school's jazz band and in various other jazz groups, and was lucky enough to study extensively with local guitarists Rod Fleeman and Danny Embrey. I still make occasional trips back to my hometown to perform and record, and played on a couple of records with the KC-based group The Matt Cook Collective in 2016 and 2017.

My next stop was the University of Miami, where I attended the Frost School of Music from 2012-2016 and was fortunate enough to study with John Hart, Brian Russell, and Tim Jago I played with my first Grammy winner (multi-instrumentalist guru Charlie McCoy) and released an EP with Big City Folk Band in 2015. In between school semesters, I performe

d with country and jazz groups in Kansas City and gave lessons at KC Music, a local music store.

In 2017, I relocated to Nashville, began touring with country artist Derryl Perry, and recorded and released my first solo album, Aces. In between tour dates, I've been enjoying the task of expanding both my teaching studio and my guitar resume in this growing city.

About Garrett M.

I can teach acoustic or electric guitar, this is up to the student. I'm also prepared to teach any particular style that's preferred on either instrument.

About Garrett

I've been playing guitar for about 15 years now and I've played in just about every type of band. After playing in a metal band for about 5 years I switched over to a classic rock group for a couple years. In both of those groups I was lead guitar/lead vocals. Now for the last few years I've been playing lead guitar in a country/rock band called Faith Bardill for a vocalist who has won several awards including best female country artist and best teen artist. I enjoy playing any style of music and I'm very excited to help new students realize their potential. I'm prepared to teach from home in a comfortable room I've dedicated to teaching and studio work. I'm also happy to go to the student for their convenience or give lessons online. My personal passion is to make music my life. I want to give lessons, play shows and record my

way through the years. I have enormous enthusiasm when it comes to music and I bring that to the lessons I give.

Great lesson, loads to learn!!!

Brad January 25, 2019·Acoustic Guitar·In studio

I tried learning guitar a number of years ago. Garrett was great getting me started back into guitar. He quickly got me going with some simple chords and techniques. He has a strong understanding of guitar and makes it easy to understand. + he can play anything!

Derrick January 15, 2019·Guitar·In studio

What can I say about Garrett. I have never met a better guitarist in my 20 years of playing. Taking lessons with him was one of the best decisions I ever made. I would pay him double. No matter the guitar style, Garrett seems to have played it for years and has real insight on any of the different styles from Blues, to Country, to Rock, to Classic Rock, to Metal. He helped me not just learn riffs or songs but scales and has bug in teaching me more advanced music theory as well. He truly is the perfect mix of good person and amazing guitarist. Don’t miss the chance to learn from one of the best no matter your skill level!

About Gavin H.

About Gavin

Hi! Whether you want to be able to play your favorite songs, or accompany yourself when you sing your own songs, I can help you do that! I can help you truly go in depth with our lessons so you have a real understanding of guitar. Something you can eventually use professionally if you desire. I come from a background of classical composition and songwriting. I've been in the music industry for 6 years now, and I know what knowledge is useful for guitar, and what is stuff you'll never really use.

I'd love to help you discover how much you love guitar, and have a talent for it.

About walter

Hello, My name is W. K. Sullivan II and I am a fairly recent graduate of Alabama A&M University. At this modest college, located in Normal AL, I majored in Music Business allowing me to master a variety of instruments and other related fields such as art. I was a participant in the band, the stringed ensemble, jazz band, and still had time to sing in the choir at church. I've even taught guitar, violin, bass, trombone, and piano lessons at the world renowned Maitland Conservatory. Feel free to ask me anything from basic music theory to form and analysis.

Elizabeth April 29, 2019·Electric Guitar·In studio

My son Austin took lessons with Tyler while he was a student instructor at Messiah College for just over a year. I saw my son go from barely being able to hold the guitar to playing songs he loved. I was so happy to see my son play his guitar.
Unfortunately we had to move being a military family and we had to stop our lessons. But as a parent I highly suggest Tyler. I was able to attended every lesson and help take notes for my son and Tyler made me feel involved in every lesson! Great teacher!
